There are something like 1.4 billion catholics in the world there is going to be all kinds of examples for you to call it a “systemic issue” when there is literally no part of the system that encourages this. If you actually cared you would look at schools which have a much higher number of molested kids. And no government schools is about them being government run not some kind of public run thing.

I love how you guys just cant not think about trump for one moment. Rent free.

That is a long wiki page, you will need to point to the part you are referring to.

If you want to point to institutions with pedo problem, then you should look at government schools which have much more than churches. But I think this is more about ragging on religious institutions than actually understanding what is happening.

I am guessing that we are talking about the catholic church, and I could be wrong because I dont know about their rules, but I dont believe they would have rule not severely punishing or sending to police pedos. I would guess they catagorized it as someone who broke a rule, not committed a crime.

I think what it is are they are friends and their friends promise to never do it again and they dont want to ruin their lives. It is a universal thing and not just a religous thing but we news stories about what is supposed to be a safe place sell more papers.

It does make sense that God would be allowed to break rules, its kind of like how a parent doesnt have the same rules as their kids. And no on in a church is allowed to be a pedo, if that happens that is seem by very bad by all the people.

Its just going to be a daily struggle like anything having to do with parenting. We had one 10ish year old kid find a way around the locks we put on it and they went directly for video games and porn in the middle of the night, but we caught it because we were paying attention. Its hard but if you actually care about your kids development and protection you can do it. Also its good to find other parents that are actively doing the same things so your kid doesnt just get to access porn via a friend.

It is insanity that most parents let their kids have social media and smart phones. I have kids, and it was an expectation that they would not have either of these things until they were adults (if they chose). Most of the parents I am around and spend time with also dont let their kids have these things. There are phones for when they get older that allow them to have something like a smart phone but its restricted and parents have total oversight. I really dont think its a big deal if that is the expectation you give to your kids, and the kids can even see how unhealthy the phone habits of their peers are.

Its not an ideological statement, it is a comment on the structure of the organizations and how they have to work to survive. Corporations need to do things efficiently or they disappear, the reason large companies are able to be so inefficient is that they are propped up by the government. But the big corporations still have to be more efficient than the other giant companies or their business gets taken.

When it comes to the government they can have irrational requirements and ways of doing things, and since they allegedly are beholden only to the voters (who dont have a clue what is happening) then they can be as inefficient as they want. An example that is non monetary is how the police will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong, they only have an incentive to protect themselves and their own people.

I think this is a seperate issue when private corporations build and own roads. I dont know enough about that sort of thing, I was more referring to how the government hires out private companies to create infrastructure instead of having government employees do it.

I used to also, and I understand the issue, but the mega corps will still be more efficient than the government. This brings up the other issue of how the government funds all the tax dollars to large corporations and also props them up with regulatory protections.

Public employees are almost always not the highest quality and tend to be overpaid, why is it bad to have private companies do the work?

You should but let me rephrase it; dont punch people in the street unless they are actually going to threaten you.

That is my takeaway of what you might believe. I do not agree with ghandi in this situation.

So you think that american nazis are going to take over and kill millions of jews?

So then any group harassing people in the streets we should start punching them if we suspect they are part of that group?

I would agree, I want to know so that its not some 4chan in real life thing. Start punching people that allegedly nazis and they will group together stronger and gain sympathy.

That is not what I said, I want to know what danger those people pose to you (or anyone else) that you NEED to use violence against them. What particular danger?

What are the nazis going to do to you that you are worried about? Is it better for you to know who is a nazi, or for them to work behind the scenes?

This is shallow, but here it is… When you are dating to marry look at the womans mother to see what her weight will probably be like after having kids. If her parents are big, she will probably be big.

Yeah I am in my 40s and I when its quiet I hear that squealing and I really cant hear what I used to.
